Foodies! Yum! Join Cornellians on "The Big Red Food Tour" where we do a series of meet-ups, each time at a different restaurant/ diner/ hole in the wall joint.  We're a group that wants to explore Woman-owned, Immigrant-owned, and Black-owned restaurants. We'll seat ourselves 6-8 per table to ensure conversation and community-building among Cornellians as we sample delicious, affordable eateries around the DMV.   Volunteer to co-host with us!

First stop is  Pho 75 - Rosslyn , VA- Vietnamese immigrant owned  (registration link coming soon along with all the logistics.)  Co-hosted by Monica Pham, Cornell  Class of 2004.

Date: Thursday, August 7.  Meet at 5:30pm.  

Registration deadline is Aug. 5, midnight  for this series that is sure to get a ton of interest!  

Free for CCW members and their guests. $15 non-refundable for non-members. Registration deadline is 2 days before event.

What to expect:  indoor seating in a lively, joyful "basics" place for the greatest pho in the DMV, very reasonably priced, no bar. We will gather and break into one or two groups for seating.  Order on your own tab; pay your own tab at the counter afterward.  They do not take reservations and they get a ton of business-- you'll be glad you are tasting why!   Tip: if you come early for a drink, scoot just a few doors further down the plaza and find Guajillo with happy hour prices and outdoor seating. (Service is not always very fast at Guajillo, but it's a great spot with a dear and friendly wait staff to tip generously! Winks! Just press hard for a fast drink to arrive to dinner on time.)  There might be a line for getting a table at Pho 75, but the line does move. 

Parking and Metro: the plaza has parking but they tow people who are not patrons. Closest Metro is Rosslyn on the blue and orange  lines which is about 6 blocks downhill from Pho 75.  (Pass the firestation, CVS and 7-11 and then you are THERE!)

Fun Facts:  If you have not been to Rosslyn in a few years, come be dazzled! It's got a fresh feel to it and lots of eateries and bars within a block from our choice destination!
